Question

Keyboard Shortcuts For Safari Extension?

The keyboard shortcuts for the Safari browser extension still use the old 1Password X ones--e.g., "Cmd + Shift + X" to show 1Password in Safari, and "Cmd + Shift + L" to lock 1Password. Can we customize these just like in the other browsers? Or at least mirror the custom shortcuts we have in the desktop app?

Also, the keyboard shortcut I set up for locking the 1P 8 Early Access app doesn't work anymore. I tried changing it, etc. When I'm on the Mac desktop, for example, the system reads my keyboard shortcut just as if I had pressed any letter. (For example, if you're on the Mac desktop screen and press a letter on your keyboard, it will select the first file/folder on the desktop that corresponds to the letter. In other words, there's some kind of bug that's causing the Mac to not send the command to lock the 1Password app. It over-rides it?)


1Password Version: Early Access 8.5
Extension Version: latest for Safari; 2.x.x
OS Version: macOS 12.1.x

+1 to this issue. I use command+shift+x in Google Docs and find it very frustrating not to be able to customize the 1password shortcut.

Me too! I use Command+Shift+X in Google Docs all the time to strike out text and suddenly 1Password has taken over!

Hi there, how can I change the keyboard shortcut for 1Password in Safari?

I, too, am trying to use Command Shift X for a different site. This is frustrating that it is not documented or configurable anywhere, including the 1Password keyboard shortcuts settings.

You can change the keyboard shortcut for 1Password in the browser in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Brave, but unfortunately not Safari right now. In those browsers, you can right-click the 1Password icon in the toolbar and choose Settings, from where you can set a new keyboard shortcut in the Shortcuts section, or following the link there to the browser's extension settings.

All the keyboard shortcuts for 1Password, including 1Password in the browser, can be found here on the 1Password Support website: 1Password keyboard shortcuts.

Let me know if you have any questions or would like any further help. :)

Hi gray, thanks for your reply. That’s disappointing that this can’t be changed or disabled in safari. Hopefully this will be remedied soon. Also, this keyboard shortcut isn’t listed in the keyboard shortcut settings in the app. I’m sure you can understand my confusion in saying it’s undocumented. Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply, @smilinggoat0!

The keyboard shortcut to open the browser extension is written in the text blurb just below the "1Password in the browser" heading, but I do see your point about how it might be made more visible. I'll share this with the team and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. 👍🏻

Hi Andrew,
I'm looking in the app and in the browser extension and I can't see this anywhere. Either in the keyboard shortcuts or on the the browser section.

My apologies, @smilinggoat0, I misread and thought we were talking about the keyboard shortcuts support page. 😞

You're spot on that the browser extension shortcuts aren't listed in the app itself. They can be found within the settings of the browser extensions (right-clicking the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar > Settings) though not in Safari:

I'll surface this internally so we can explore making this more visible, even when the shortcuts themselves can't be edited. Apologies again for the confusion and thanks for your feedback!
